Ship Operations
training course delivered over 12 weeks by online distance learning
This 12-week distance learning
course introduces the key functions of the operations department in shipping
organisations. It provides an essential guide to those working in (or aiming to
work in) ship operations, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of
how the global shipping industry functions.
In six clearly-written modules,
operational experts guide you through the main areas of knowledge needed to

Ships within the Maritime Industry
·
Voyage Operations
·
Crewing, Manning and Management
Essentials

Operators' top priority is to
ensure the safe, smooth and economical running of their principals' fleet and
to ensure that the fleet's contractual obligations are met.
The operations department is
the main coordinator between the Board of Directors, the Executives, the
company’s various departments, the vessels under management, the charterers,
and all third parties involved with the ships (ship agents, ship-chandlers,
bunkering suppliers, shippers, receivers, stevedores, etc.)
The department is also responsible
for evaluating and reporting overall fleet performance, condition and
maintenance including safety and running costs.
Among other things, it is the
duty of the operations department to:
·
Provide post-fixture
support to the vessels
·
Issue voyage instructions
·
Ensure ships
perform as per the charterparty agreements
·
Ensure the safe and
efficient carriage and delivery of cargoes
·
Supervise the
disbursement of all funds necessary to run the ships
·
Arrange for freight /
hire / demurrage collection from charterers
·
Arrange for the
provision of the vessels with bunkers.
It is also imperative to
co-ordinate the implementation of, and compliance with, the plethora of
ever-changing maritime codes and regulations governing international shipping.
With such a broad range of
duties and responsibilities, it’s no wonder the Ship Operator is one of the
most highly-valued members of shipping organisations.
